"My Caribbean Dream" Book Signing

Thank you to all who came out and celebrated with my coauthor, Sharon Burow, and me! Thank you also to Barnes and Noble for their wonderful hosting and the yummy Caribbean Dream drinks. It was lots of fun siinging "Artie the Island Dog" with my class and all who joined slong in our Caribbean music and fun! One World to Treasure!

I am now back from a whirlwind of a trip to Grenada, followed by a trip to Mexico! Wow, what fun I had with my colleague, Dr. Leanne Olson! We presented teachers of several Grenadian schools with copies of the book and a teacher’s supplementary binder filled with activities, lesson plans, and suggestions for using the book as a Science and even Social Studies addition to equip the children of the Caribbean as the next generation of conservationists. We discussed and modeled games, music, and many cross teaching ideas along with actual work for students to do upon being taught about the eleven themes mentioned in the book. I wrote a lesson plan to teach about the necessity of preserving the culture of the island for the youngest to more mature students to understand what a treasure they have in their Caribbean Culture. Pictured here are students who participated in initial illustrations receiving their copies of “My Caribbean Dream,” teachers working through some of the activities, a school principal receiving his certificate as an environmental leader for the Grenadian Schools, and all the teachers-beautiful teachers, who will train the next generation that we have one world to treasure, and that they have one Grenada to celebrate and protect. Long live the mangroves, coral reefs, deep ocean waters, rainforest, pure fresh water ponds and rivers, and all the life these environments hold! Watch for lesson plans and activities to be available here soon!

Thank you Sandee! You would know as an author yourself!I am eager to read “Night Hawk” by Bill Bowers and Sandee Hart! “My Caribbean Dream” is written for a specific purpose-to empower kids and help them treasure our world. I am hopeful to continue this journey celebrating kids, art, and God’s world!
